ah, that time of year when the ethnoimperialist dogma of our leechlike urban cousins drives them to attempt to seperate themselves even further from the rural folk who they find so simple.
yes, it is easy to sit and pass judgement on the lesser country folk who feed and clothe the pale, unable citizens of the urban cesspool that is most of americas population.
watch the lattimer massacre and laugh, stare at the ludlow massacre and giggle as the city bound brethren we care for so well, without seekign appropriate medical care or equal representation in government, shoot us in the back over and over again in a cycle of violence no racial hatred can surpass.
in maintaining closer roots to the land and culture that provided us all with a better place to live (and many who have studied it say we rednecks, with our funny way of talking sound more like the original brits who settled "redneck" areas than brits do today) we have all somehow become the same to the homogenized mall rat culture that has affected every urban center from mass. to ca.
yeah, there is definitely a sory statement to be made about those who live in once-mobile housing over the brilliance of living in a 48 stiry firetrap ina town where the fire dept. only has a 22 story ladder. after all, it is obviously the rednecks own fault that in supplying the means of production he faces increased prices AND higher cancer rates than his urban brethren. all with the promise of lesser medical care..
i revel in the egalitarian spirit that finds nobility in the american indian but spits in the eye of any member of the white race who chooses to live a little closer to the land. let us celebrate diversity, as long as that diversity doesn't include the rural white working class and their bad teeth. let us point out again that the rural members of our society, especially those rural emmbers fortunate enough to have signed on for a lifetime of menial work are just a shade to pale for the happy multicultural rainbow we all supposedly strive for.
it is always nice to see my fellow open-minded game enthusiasts take the time to bash my neighbors and my family for having the bad fortune to have spent our childhoods catching tadpoles and learning to hold a rifle, chasing mutts and settling in to the fact that we would never be able to afford the educations that our richer, city brethren recieved.
yes, white trash reminds you of the crudely bred norse "demons" you thought you had bred out of yourselves. a constant reminder of the easthetic predilictions that were thought to be left behind. we romanticize the american worker, we romanticize the rural life and we constantly chide and berade those who experience this lifestyle.
let us make fun of the hillbilly and his bad teeth, without pausing to consider his exposure to decent, affordable healthcare.
let us jest about his education level while designing beter and better school for rich urban children and scholarships for minorities and forgetting, for another year at least, the plight of the rural youth.
yes, let us forget the poverty, suffering and exploitation that have designed the environment of the current redneck. let's just spend that time mocking him.
i am sure it will help.
